Speaker 6: Israeli press reports that the visit shows that President Trump

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,399

00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,800

00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: the remains of thirteen hostages have now been handed over

Speaker 2: released in the deadliest blaze in Massachusetts in more than

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: four decades. Wvc'sjbl let tells us officials are hoping to

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,920

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: The Gabriel House assisted living facility fire took the lives

00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: In the twenty seven page after action report, fire officials

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: say oxygen tanks for medical use were almost certainly accelerants

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 4: in this case. The three story building has no hallway,

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: fire doors, or ways to mitigate smoke. Also, the report

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: says what made it difficult for rescuers was the fact

50
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: that there was only one elevator and that ac units

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 4: in Plywood, we're covering a lot of the windows, which

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: left smaller bathroom windows is the only viable escape route

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: for many. The report also recommends better staffing, more training,

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: and legislative action that enforces fire code changes for assisted

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: living or high risk facilities like this. Jawill ed WBZ

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: active weather forecast. We are pushing away our rain and

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: bringing in some sunshine. Some sunshine this afternoon for a

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: few spots, but really we'll have to wait till tomorrow

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: to have a nice day. We had the rain earlier.

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: Some of it came down really heavily and caused a

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 4: little bit of flooding and ponding in some areas too,

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: So I'm good to see the rain disappear, even though

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: we need it to help with the drought. There are

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: still a few spots of precipitation. They're moving mainly to

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: the north and to the east. They are cross parts

00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: up to Gardner, crossing the route to court Or.

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: There's a little bit more out toward Athol, and then

72
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: more further west than that. So there are still some

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: showers and such that you make it under if you're

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: heading out toward the western part of the state. Over

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: the next handful of hours. The bulk of the precipitation, though,

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: is saying goodbye well to us and hello to northern

77
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600

Speaker 7: mill Rose. She says traffic is highly seasonal and also

95
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 7: depends on the weather. When it's rainy, more people think

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 7: about knitting and find their way to her shop. She

97

111
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,479

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,560
